Nicolas Cage was great as usual, but this time he was great in two roles. The movie was a little slow at first but still very intrigueing. The plot thickened toward the end and I can only describe the end as WOW. It definately does not dissappoint. Great flick, excellent acting. All in all a wondeerful film!

Read More This was very different,very "trippy" and did play mind games.I liked Nicholsa Cage as he brings a vulnerability to this awfully undecided kind of fellow , who gets panic attacks etc...He played his part well. Chris Cooper also is so convincing in his part of the film. The only part that was irking was Meryl Streep even though she is one of my fav. actresses. That part was just OK.I liked the speil about life, evolution etc... that this movie tries to touch. All in all, not as bad or as good as most reviewers have said, but definitely something very different. I would watch it once if I was in the mood for something different than the usual run of the mill stuff that hollywood churn out ad nauseum. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Too bad the storyline is not worthy of his acting! Strange, long, drawn out, even for the intellectualy artsy, literate, cultured mind, this story leaves much to be desired.

Being a screenwriter myself, I thought I'd really enjoy this movie. I think I just had way too high expectations, because I kept waiting for the action to develop, but it never did. Nicolas Cage is my favorite actor, but this film just did not do him justice. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
